Marantz Premium Series Integrated Amplifier

This latest addition to the Marantz Premium Range is packed with proven and advanced technologies from the SC-11 and the SM-11.

Thanks to the massive shielded Toroidal Transformer and customised components, the PM-11s2 offers ultra-stable power output at 2 x 100 watts at 8 ohms and 2 x 200 watts at 4 ohms.

Absolute signal integrity and very low signal to noise ratio is guaranteed, via the 3-stage construction which includes a pre-amplifier and a dual stage main amplifier, plus an extra pre-amplifier for phono MM/MC.

Key technologies include the latest Marantz Current Feedback HDAM-SA3, as well as symmetrical and shortest signal paths to deliver dynamic sound and perfect stereo imaging. The chassis and rear panel are copper plated to minimise signal-degrading EMI and offering low impedance ground potential at any point.

All of which means that the PM-11S2 will leave you breathless.

Marantz PM-11s2 Premium Series Integrated Amplifier Reviews

Absolute Sound by Neil Gader August 2009
The PM-11S2 offers the kind of full-featured functionality and rewarding sonics that elegantly bridge modern convenience and purist audiophile values. Add to this a refinement that matches the ritzy fit and finish and you're looking at one of the best sub-$5k integrated amps available. Very nicely done, Marantz!
